Median: The middle number in the data set when the

data set is written from least to greatest.

Since our data set is already written from least to greatest,

we can just look for the number that appears in the middle.

In this case, it would be 3.

Mode: The number that appears

most frequently in a data set.

Notice that the number 3 appears twice in the data set and no other

number appears more than once. So the mode is 3.

Range: The difference between the greatest number in

the data set and the least number in the data set.

Since the greatest number is 8 and the least number is 1,

the range of the data set will be 8 - 1 or 7.

Please help me with number 55 & 56. I need the answer very quick.<br>Use the point-slope formula

55.
The only type of line with undefined slope is a vertical line.
In a vertical line, all points have the same x-coordinate.
The general equation of a vertical line is x = k, where k is the x-coordinate of all points on the line. If you are given one point, then you know the x-coordinate of that point, but since all points have the same x-coordinate, you also know the x-coordinate of all points.

Equation is: x = -6

Same explanation as above.
x = 2

A survey reports that the probability a person has blue eyes is 0.10. Assume that 4 people are randomly selected at Miramar Coll

Answer:

0.344 = 34.4% probability that at least 1 of them have blue eyes.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have blue eyes, or they have not. The probability of a person having blue eyes is independent of any other person. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
